His Excellency l.. A. Thurston, Minister of
Interior: In answer to the inquiry of Hon.
| A. S. Wilcox, the receipt of which have the
honor to acknowledge, as referred by your
Excellency to me, would say that the Board
| of Health has taken no steps to resume the
scientific study of leprosy in way similar
to that pursued by DR.. E. Aiming when here.
There has been some general discussion as
to the desirability of pursuing the investiga-
ton, but such discussion has not resulted in
any action.
short time ago the Board of Health re-
ceived communication from medical gen.
tleman in this place requesting permission
to be granted to him to investigate the sub
ject of leprosy scientifically at the expense of
this Government. He proposed that his in
vestigation be made at the Branch Hospital
Kakaako.
The Board did not feel sure that he was
specially qualified for such work and there
fore telt unwilling to incur the expense, and
it accordingly declined the offer.
The Board of Health has no intentions in
this matter. N. B. EMERSON,
